I along with approximately 20 others work in a non-teaching position, on an as need basis (usually 1 day per month) for an educational company, owned by several educational institutions in a western country, which in turn are owned by the government of the country. The positions require the employees to be trained and certified and usually only those with a masters degree are offered a position, therefore the positions are highly skilled. My particular job, (usually one day a month) requires me to work at one of three locations in Bangkok or one of two other provinces.

My question is can I get a work permit to work in all three locations in the same blue book? Would there be an extra fee because the job is in 3 different locations?

The educational institute tells me that they can't get me one and that they only get them for fulltime employees, and that they are aware that all 20 of us are working illegally but don't seem to give a toss. Why would they not offer work permits to us for these jobs?

Given that we work in a school environment but not teaching would the immigration police differentiate between us and teachers when they eventually come to raid the school, as is likely now that they are checking out all teachers in Thailand?

I'm currently on a Non-B multiple visa which I got in the country that owns this educational institution.

If the educational institute says they can't get me one can I go ahead myself and get one anyway?

This may require Sunbelt Asia's answer.

Cheers

Practically the only feasible and economical way, you can get a work permit to work there, is if they are your employer and cooperate sponsoring you.

The best way, if they don't want to get you a "full time work permit" is to apply for a 15 day Necessary and Urgent Work permit. You can get this with even a tourist visa exemption stamp.

Under educational company, this is how you may qualify...

Administrative and educational works.

(1) conference, discussion, seminar or business invitation work.

(2) temporary internal audit

(3) special lecture and educational work

You could get permission on the 30th and work. Then again on the 14th of the following month. repeat the cycle every 2 months.

Thanks Sunbelt. Never heard of a 15 day urgent and necessary one. How much do they cost each time?
